Fuck yeah. I WOULD like to ask The Narrator how he feels his bond with stanley has changed/stayed the same since they left the parable.
Tablet is dysfunctional so I had to draw this on my phone <\3
But The Narrator feels he’s lost great power in his fall to mortality (which is true) but now that he’s on the same level as Stanley, they both can’t help but feel more understanding of each other
It’s hard to feel on top of the world when at rock bottom but at least they’ve got someone by their side
Sex headcanons for the guys? Dutch, Micah, others.. I would be interested to hear your takes :) just asking generally.
OH! This is a broad one sjdfhjskdfh
I have so many opinions about so many characters. I’m gonna focus on the two you mentioned because otherwise this post is gonna get soooo long lmao. Thank you for asking <3
Still, if anyone’s interested in knowing something more in depth, I’m always up to discuss!
As always, these are only my personal views, don’t take them too much at heart. Ship what you want, read what you want, write what you want. There isn’t a right or wrong way for it.
NSWF under the cut
Dutch
Vers (top-bottom) and Switch (dom-sub). Naturally, he's surrendering control only to indulge his partner—pure magnanimity on his part. (Sure, Dutch.)
He has wildly different approaches to sleeping with men and women, mostly rooted in his romanticized perception of femininity as divine. (This deserves a proper analysis, honestly.)
He’s a yapper with women. Won’t shut up—praises, teases, the cheesiest compliment ever heard to man. Did he read it in a book? Did he come up with that on his own? Who knows, he’s not gonna admit to either.
Flattery? For men? He doesn’t see the point. Unless, of course, he is on the receiving end. In which case, it’s completely normal, proper, and frankly, should happen more often.
If he’s doing something right, better tell him. Otherwise, he’ll ask. Incessantly. Not because he doubts himself—he just likes to hear it, moreso when he's subbing.
When he doms, it's intense. He promises to tease and make it last forever, but he gets overeager fast. He gets off on control in normal situations, just imagine what that does to him in bed.
Pillow Princess when he bottoms. To the point he needs to be physically moved because he won’t on his own.
You’d assume he has an oral fixation for how much he opens his big mouth, and yes. Yes, he has. On that note, he also likes mirrors.
He will be open to try things because he thinks there’s nothing he can’t do. He will promptly escalate them to a dangerous degree because he doesn’t know his own limit. Regardless if he is or isn’t into it, if challenged, he’ll do it again.
He will leave something behind. Maybe it’s an innocently forgotten belonging he'll have to retrive. Maybe it’s the not-so-innocent mark of his teeth. He needs to leave a reminder he was there.
Aftercare is a problem because he gets post-coital hyperactivity. He’ll pace, ramble, plan. Swears his best ideas come with a clear head. Peppy as hell, less controlled, arrogance through the roof. His sarcasm cuts a little too deep. Will get mean if pushed.
Micah
A life spent among outlaws (primarily men) meant female company was scarce and nights were long, boring and lonely. Plenty of opportunities to experiment, plenty of excuses to make.
Sleeping with women is recreational. Sleeping with men is transactional. He needs to gain something out of it, or at least have the impression he is gaining some kind of advantage/upper hand. He’s a master at justifying it.
If he bottoms he’ll fight like hell to pretend he’s simply allowing it. If he sees an opening for topping, he’ll take it. And when he does, it’s dangerous—because he gets nasty about it. Not that it ever feels as good as when he’s on his back—woah, who said that?!
He’s a terrible submissive. Too restless, too grabby, snaps back instead of following orders. Does he want to be put in his place? I mean…
He hates anything that looks too much like intimacy. Touching hands, looking in the eyes (unless there's some power-play involved). He avoids kissing like the plague. Don't try him, he bites.
If he senses vulnerability, he’ll be twice as vicious. If he’s the one unraveling, he’ll only take mockery as a response. Meanness is comfortable—it’s the language he speaks best, the one he understands the most.
He craves praise, but will never ask for it. He’ll try to subtly lure it out, twisting any backhanded comment if he needs to. If he gets nothing, he doesn’t care. He never cared. Really!!!
Vocal. Won’t stop talking and making noises. His dirty talk is abysmal and his attempts at being flirty are on par with the rest of his humor. Crass, cringy and ill-timed.
Runs out of stamina embarrassingly fast. Partly because he forgets to breathe. Partly because he just doesn’t breathe well, period. Anything that obstructs his mouth leaves him gasping—not that he minds.
Amusingly sensitive neck. The softer the touch the most restless he grows. But if someone actually wraps their hand around it or bites him? Hope nobody was expecting this to last much longer.
Has the attention span of a goldfish. Pleasure is nice, but bores him easily. If he’s not being challenged, pushed, or hurt, he zones out.
No afterglow. The moment the high fades, he turns into an irritable wretch.
Hiii :3 Micah headcanons? I'm interested to hear what you think about his attitude towards interpersonal relationships (I think a lot about how he reached out to Amos) and how he shows care.
<3 🐴🐴🐁
OOOOh this is such an interesting one! (reason why it got rambly lol thank you for asking)
There’s a lot going on with Micah in terms of how he sees people and how he reacts to them. I think to get an understanding of his reasoning is important to remember a couple things:
Micah never had a family. To him family and gang are the same thing, interchangeable, and with the same weight. He doesn’t have a standard concept of it. He was born and grew up outlaw, that’s all he ever knew.
He doesn’t believe in anything. He’s more than an atheist, and more than a cynic. No God, no morality, not even money. ONLY survival, and survival of the fittest, at that.
Has some deep-rooted insecurities. Probably brought up by his father. He masks those insecurities by belittling weakness whenever he finds it.
(about his father and grandfather) “Pair of wild horses they was. Father and son…and then me.”
Headcanons and opinions:
He longs for companionship in the standard sense, but doesn’t have the ability to let himself want it, or even acknowledge it. He sees feelings, and the expression of it, as inherently weak and unmanly (which is likely because of his dad berating him for it)
We see the previous point plenty of times with Mary Beth Abigail. And yes, in all of those moments he’s creepy as hell, because I have the feeling he never had much interaction with women who weren’t paid to talk to him. Which is not a legitimization for his actions, but explains how and why he acts towards women like this. No surprise here, but it was worth mentioning.
Two other instances of him searching for companionship is:
With Javier, when they end up drinking together and Micah confesses drunkenly they are family. Which seems odd to say, while drunk, to a random person you don’t even particularly like. I don’t think this was meant as manipulation. Micah has a habit of running his mouth too much when he’s drunk
In Beaver’s Hollow (when everyone’s morale is down)—coincidentally, drunk here too—when he demands people cheer up, and asks someone to sing a song or something.
I love this one in particular, because during the story he’s seen never interacting with the gang when they party. Meaning the idiot has been sulking outside, looking in.
He admires strength, and envies with a passion. He absolutely looks up to Arthur and hates him for it. Arthur is strong, he’s reliable, he doesn’t ‘whine’ in the sense he always accuses others of doing. Arthur is the reason the camp is still going, and Micah has noticed that instantly. It’s the reason why, when it’s time, Arthur is the first he tries to get rid off. Micah’s a snake and knows how to cut off a snake’s head.
About admiring strength. His admiration for it is the same reason he gets so overwhelmed and bitter when confronted with the strength of people he hates. Charles when he throws him on the ground, Javier when he punches him. Even with Hosea in that camp’s interaction about Blackwater, where Hosea doesn’t leave him respite, doesn’t back down when Micah bites, he bites back. (because Hosea may be old but he can still whoop your ass!)
He reached out to Amos because he was trying to get him back into outlawing. No nasty ulterior motives imo. Yes, he talks down on his brother with the gang, but that’s the yarn he spins, you know. At the end of that conversation he also admits no woman ever told him nothing but “make yourself scarce”, adding that “it suits me just fine” in the most unconvincing tone I’ve ever heard. So yeah, he wanted his brother back into the fray.
Is honest when he says the gang is like family. As said before, he doesn’t have an example for what a family actually is, gangs is all he ever knew. When he rants in camp about wanting the gang to cut off the weak ones, that’s what he thinks families ought to do, because that's probably what his family did with Amos.
And despite it all—despite him being the rat—Micah is loyal to the concept of gang. If Dutch hadn’t gone completely off the rails in Guarma, mining his own survival (which is and will always be king) I think he wouldn’t have sold them out. (This is like my most controversial point I can feel the people booing lmao)
What do you think Hoseas like in bed? Does he have any kinks/guilty pleasures?
Okay so so sorry it took me a while, but I do have thoughts about this shadgfjskag
Thank you again for asking so I can talk about my babygirl!
Hosea kinks and preferences in bed
NSWF under the cut
If we’re talking body parts. He’s a breasts/chest man. Not that he doesn’t appreciate a good pair of thighs or a nice behind, but there’s something about a soft chest under his cheek (or his hands) that makes him feel at home.
I’m not joking when I said he’s the queen of consent and healthy boundaries.He’s the one to ask repeatedly if his partner is sure of something. Since he could get carried away in the moment, he likes to set some ground rules first.
He’s 100% a switch and he changes drastically depending if he’s topping or bottoming. If he’s topping, he tends to be calmer and more controlled, and could feel cold at first glance. If he’s bottoming, he’s a feral little heathen that gets snappy and impatient real fast.
He’s not so much into the whole dom/sub thing but he does like to act out scenarios and roleplay. He doesn’t like when the roles are too obvious, or clear-cut, though, prefers when the dynamic comes out naturally throughout the interaction, depending on the scenario he came up with. (He is the one coming up with them, he loves it, has a huge backlog of them)
Big into ropework. I guess he likes that he can translate the skill to another field so seamlessly. There’s something satisfying in keeping someone tied up and powerless like that. And the ropes sometimes leave marks behind, which are really nice to look at after.
Likes edging, whether it’s on himself or his partner. Likes to drag it out and deeply enjoys both being begged for it, and being too speechless to beg himself.
He’s not much of a talker, keeps quiet for most of it but he does like to break the tension (and rhythm) with a quip or two. Sometimes it’s silly, other times it’s teasing. When he’s in the mood, it starts as a joke and ends with the filthiest praise he said all night.
Hardly the ones to initiate it. But he likes to trick it out of his partner. If he’s acting aloof or clueless to even the most blantan tease, that’s most likely a tactic. He likes when his partner either gets fed-up and handsy, or when they ask explicitly.
